have disseminated in society. Besides the enthusiasm it engendered among core supporters, even the
subaltern castes have been won over. A great mass of Hindus today support the BJP because each one
of them has been fed on hate for the Muslims. As if a people thought to live on hate alone can prosper.
Modi is a shrewd politician. Single-handedly he has won the elections for the saffron party. From its
committed, assured vote of 21 per cent of total votes cast countrywide, the BJP went up to 31 per cent
in 2014 and 37 per cent in 2019. The incremental vote has come from the marginalised who he has won
over with welfare measures that only far-left parties are known to take.
But Modi, like most populist politicians, is conscious of his own standing in people’s hearts and his
image in the popular lexicon. He knew immediately that he had slipped when the Gulf’s Muslim sultans,
who he had so assiduously cultivated, spoke up in unison against the hate spewed by his party
spokespersons!
By suspending one and sacking the other, he managed to appease the Muslim rulers, but by virtue of
the punitive action he took against those he incorrectly described as ‘fringe elements’, he opened
simultaneously a can of worms. Nupur Sharma has a vast following among BJP’s core supporters and
this section has revolted. It is now the duty of the more enlightened population to wean Modi away
from the politics of hate that is destroying this country and defend him against the fringe elements that
he wittingly or unwittingly empowered.
To win him over, we must emphasise Modi’s personal importance in the country, and in the world, and
how important it is for him to change tack and lead a united country instead of an army of ‘fringe
elements’. Modi will leave his footprints on the sands of time only if he grasps this opportunity to unite
instead of divide. Incidentally, this is what he himself had set out to do initially.
All armchair intellectuals, secular liberals, urban Naxals, pseudo-secularists and minorities will welcome
his change of heart, if it occurs. Perhaps the RSS Sarsangchalak will also come out openly and renew his
advice to good Hindus not to go searching for Shivalingas in every mosque in the country. And that
would really cap our efforts. Keep the fingers crossed”. PM needs nation’s sympathy; It’s the duty of
more enlightened people to wean him away from politics of hate: TRYSTS AND TURNS: Julio Ribeiro:
